Falling Into Bed with a Duke by Lorraine Heath
4.0
3.5 stars. This book started out very strong. We have a smart and sassy heroine who would rather be a spinster than marry for social conventions. She is an intelligent woman who speaks her mind. Add in one of "The Hellions", Ash, known for his carousing and adventures. Put them into "The Nightingale", an establishment where women wear masks and choose men for anonymous trysts. ~She may end up a spinster, but Minerva is determined to have one sensual sexual experience before accepting her fate. ~
The writing is solid, the dialogue is wonderful and I loved Minerva. However, the middle dragged on a bit. There were a few missed opportunities for interesting twists and turns, particularly around Minerva's alter ego, that would have helped with the pacing.
I read the book and listened to the audio. While the voice on audio was fine, there was little differentiation between the characters in the dialogue. I preferred the physical read.
Timeline/Setting: Regency, England
Tropes: Spinster, Hidden Identity
